[QuadList] Question of the week

[Bill Carpenter]

Hi Folks,

The VR -3000B did not have a plug-in DTBC, it used a TBC 900, which was also the base for the unit, when playing back to air.

I gave a SMPTE paper and showed the system @ The Winter TV Conference in Detriot in early 76, which many called the birthplace of ENG.

The machine had a dual track audio system, with the electronics above the top plate on the left edge.

The system, the VR-3000/TBC-900 was a joint venture between Al Trost & Maurice Lemoine to produce what was wanted in France. Additional connectors were added to bring the video head signals out to external processing and the goal was AVR-2 playback performance.

The goal  was to use the VR-3000 in the field and then at a mobile "base station" use the TBC-900, to feed a high quality signal back via microwave to be broadcast without further processing.
